This document discusses the Play framework and how it starts a Play application from the command line using the ProdServerStart object.
1. The ProdServerStart object's main method creates a RealServerProcess and calls the start method, passing the process.
2. The start method reads server configuration settings, creates a PID file, starts the Play application, and starts the HTTP server provider.
3. It loads the Play application using an ApplicationLoader, which can use Guice for dependency injection. The loaded application is then started by Play.
